That's what I ended up doing today. I could see the Jerome side was much steeper so I chilled at Jerome for an hour or so and ate an ice cream cone before I headed back up and over. Overall a good ride. The toughest part was the wind...it was brutal today!
hmmmmmmm
cool story?
It's a good climb, but I'm scared ****less riding that road. Mostly because I remember the days my friends and I used to take our cars up there in high school and see how fast we could cruise around those corners. One idiot does that and you're a pancake.
